At the request of the BBC Brasil, journalism student Isabela Reis analyzed the content of three magazines aimed at the teen public looking for concrete examples of the lack of representation of black girls in the media.

The magazines did not respond to contact attempts. If returned, would they be able justify this? Is it possible to explain the predominance of white girls in the pages when they are only one part of the girls from 10-19 years of age? If there was logic in numbers, 57.8% of the images should be of black girls. It’s not what happens.
